I am a lucky lady, I was thrown two wedding showers, one by my sister for ll my girlfriends and the other by my cousin and my mom for all my cousins and aunts.  My uber-creative cousin came up with the Breakfast at Tiffanys themed party and it was a huge success.  Right down to the finger foods, the perfect Tiffany inspired cake, the little black dress dress code and the very cute gift bags, not a detail was left out.  I hope this inspires someone else to throw a similar party for one of their girlfriends one day.

Oh my God, just saw the trailer for the new documentary about Anna Wintour at Vogue magazine.  A true devil wearing Prada, looks so good - can’t wait to see it!!  Even the office in the documentary looks exactly the same as Miranda’s in The Devil Wears Prada.  Check out the trailer to see what I am so excited about!

It took me a while to post some pictures from our recent trip to Cuba.  It was my third time there, but had never visited Havana until this trip - wow, worth the drive.  Even though it is falling apart, the beauty is still there.  The vintage cars definitely add a charm to the city…I had so many beautiful, colorful pics, I couldn’t show them all.  So here are a few, but you must go!!!!

So when I posted a while ago my dream backyard, I forgot the pool house…..what was I thinking!?!?  Is this not the most unbelievable pool house (courtesy of Elle Decor).  I think I need to re-work the design of my future backyard to include one of these.  I would never leave my backyard again.

Photographer inspiration: Paul Costello

Anyone who is a fan of Domino magazine, for sure will recognize the fantastic photography of Paul Costello.  Take the time to browse his site if you have a chance.  Everytime I look at it I find a new source of inspiration.  I could have posted a thousand of his pics, but instead picked out a few of my favorites.  I seriously think I need a class on photography now.

I have this vision of how my future backyard is going to look and even though I am far away from making my dream a reality, I constantly keep an eye out for the perfect element to add to my backyard.  For now, all I know is that it will eventually include some natural wicker furniture, white elephants, ceramic stools (preferably in white), accents of turquoise and of course a gorgeous rectangular in-ground pool……a girl can dream can’t she?
